1) Open the document cover.

2) Place the document on the document bed with the reading side facingdownward.

If the document is bent or likely to fold, extend it flat.

3) Align the longer side with the left end of the document bed forlandscape size, and the shorter side with the left end for portrait size.

4) Align the upper left end of the document with the reference mark.

The document cannot be read correctly, if it does not lie flat.

5) Close the document cover slowly.

If the document cover is closed quickly, the document may shift andbe read incorrectly.

6) Select a reading mode on the driver screen, and read the document.

Do not hold or open the document cover during reading.

7) When finishing reading, open the document cover and remove thedocument.


3.2.2 Reading a Thick Document

When reading a thick document such as a book, observe the followingpoints:

1) When removing the document cover, pull it upward.

2) The document cannot be read correctly, if it is not lying flat againstthe document bed.

3) The document cannot be read correctly, if it is moved during reading.

3.3 Before Scanning and Copying a Document by AutomaticDocument Feeding

This section explains the operation required before scanning and reading adocument by automatic document feeder.

If you operate the equipment by a method other than described in thissection, a paper jam or reading error may occur.

3.3.1 Confirming Document Condition

This section explains documents that can be read by automatic documentfeeding and those that are difficult to read.

Readable documents

Readable documents are listed below.

Paper type - High-quality paper

- PP paper (paper specified by Xerox Corporation)

Ream weight 45 to 90 kg/ream (52.3 to 104.7 g/m2)

Size A4, A5, B5, letter size, legal size, and name card size (A8)


Difficult to read documents

Some type of documents cannot be read well.

Confirm whether documents can be read effectively, before using anautomatic feeder.

Paper of the following conditions/types may not be read well:

• Clipped or stapled paper

• Paper wet with ink

• Paper of uneven thickness (envelope and patched paper)

• Excessively creased or curled paper

• Folded or broken paper

• Tracing paper

• Coated paper

• Carbon transfer and pressure sensitive paper

• Paper larger than letter size (216 mm) and legal size (355 mm)

• Cloth, metal sheet, and OHP sheet made of other materials than paper

• Photographic paper

• Paper perforated peripherally

• Nonrectangular paper

• Paper lighter than 45 kg /real (52.3 g/m2) or heavier than 90 kg/ream(104.7 g/m2)

• Paper of uneven width


3.3.2 Setting Documents

This section explains how to set documents.

Loosening documents

Before setting documents, sufficiently loosen them by the followingprocedure:

• Remove a 4 mm thick section of pages, hold the ends of thedocuments with both hands, and bend the documents.

• Hold the documents strongly with both hands so that both ends of thedocuments are slanted, and then unbend the documents so that theyare inflated.

• Repeat the operations described above two or three times.

• Turn the document by 90o and similarly loosen it.

4mm

Leveling both ends and setting the documents

Level both ends of the documents so that they can be read correctly.

Set the documents as follows:

For single-side reading: Place the reading side facing the documentsupport surface.

4 mm


For double-sided reading: Place the surface (first page) facing thedocument support surface.

3.4 Scanning Documents

This section explains how to scan documents.

1) Make sure that the power of the personal computer and the scanner isON.

2) Check the document condition.

For details, see Section 3.3.1, "Confirming Document Condition."

3) Before setting documents, sufficiently loosen them.

For details, see Section 3.3.2, "Setting documents."

4) Set the documents on the document support.

− Estimate the number of pages to be set based on the followingstandard:

The document thickness must be 4 mm or less (50 sheets by55 kg/ream (64 g/cm2) paper) for A4 or legal size or smaller.

− Level the end of documents to be set.

For details, see Section 3.3.2, "Setting Documents."

− Set the documents as follows.

◊ For single-side reading: Place the reading side facing down(document support surface).

◊ For double-sided reading: Place the surface (first page)facing down (document support surface).

− Insert the documents in the automatic document feeder until theysoftly touch the back of the automatic document feeder.Excessively strong insertion results in feeding multiple pagessimultaneously. Also, make sure that the ends of the pages are notfolded down.


5) Adjust the document guides to the document width, then straightenthe documents.

If the documents are placed loosely between the left and right guides,they may be read diagonally.

6) Switch the reading mode by pressing the Duplex button.

3.5 Copying Documents

This section explains how to copy documents.

1) Make sure that the power of the personal computer, printer, andscanner is ON.

2) Check the document condition.

For details, see Section 3.3.1, "Confirming Document Condition."

3) Before setting documents, sufficiently loosen them.


4) Set the documents on the document support.

− Estimate the number of pages to be set based on the followingstandard:

The document thickness must be 4 mm or less (50 sheets by55 kg/ream (64 g/cm2) paper) for A4 or legal size or smaller.

− Level the end of the documents to be set.


− Set the documents as described below:

◊ For single-side reading: Place the reading side facing down(document support surface).

◊ For double-sided reading: Place the surface (first page)facing down (document support surface).

− Insert the documents in the automatic document feeder until theysoftly touch the back of the automatic document feeder.Excessively strong insertion results in feeding multiple pagessimultaneously. Also, make sure that the ends of the pages are notfolded down.


5) Adjust the document guides to the document width, then straightenthe documents.

If the documents are placed loosely between the left and right guides,they may be read diagonally.

6) Specify a copy count using the Function button.

4.3.2 Cleaning the Automatic Document Feeder

Clean the automatic document feeder every time it has read about 1,000pages. However, this standard differs for the type of document to be read.If the toner is insufficiently fixed, you may need to clean after a smallernumber of pages has been read.

Clean the automatic document feeder through the following procedure (seethe figure on the next page):


2) Clean the following components with a dry cloth or a cloth moistenedwith isopropyl alcohol:

Pad: Clean this component downward (in arrow direction). In thiscase, be careful not to catch the cloth in the pick arm orspring.
